How to measure fuel pressure?
I have a GC 2001 4WD 4.0L. I was wondering if I can measure the fuel pressure myself.
I suspect that the fuel pressure is lost when I turn the car off...because the next time I try to turn it on, it wont start the first time...I can hear the fuel pump when I turn the key to the ON position so it shouldn't be the fuel pump.
Thanks

I think the schrader valve to measure fuel pressure is on the fuel rail on all 4.0L, use a fuel pressure gauge usually found at tool supply or auto parts stores to find out your fuel line pressure.
NOTE: be very very careful since you are dealing with fuel under high pressure!

Thanks for your response.
I know that my question might sound stupid bit I don't know where the fuel rail is located. If anybody have a picture of it would be really awesome.
Thanks again for your response.
